The PEI is based on directly-sourced
limited partnership data, in some cases dating back to 1980. It
represents more than $2.4 trillion in private equity investments, with
more than 2,600 unique private equity partnerships, as of June 30, 2016.

“We are thrilled to partner with FIS to offer the PEI to their
asset management clients,” says John Plansky, global head of State
Street Global Exchange. “With the PEI, we believe FIS’s clients will
benefit from the ability to create custom benchmarks, so they aren’t
measuring performance against a sample that is not representative of
their unique portfolio allocations. As private market investing becomes
increasingly prevalent, we further believe investors need tools like
these to help them avoid risk and successfully generate alpha.”
